This report presents the findings of the first comprehensive follow-up study of former College of Alameda (COA) students. Objectives of the study were to establish a demographic data base on students who first enrolled in the Fall Quarter of 1970 and in the Fall Quarter of 1971, to identify their educational objectives at time of entry, to obtain student evaluation of the college's instructional and support services, and to determine what happened to students after they left the college. Questionnaires were mailed to 2,765 randomly selected members (25%) of the study populations. Response rates were 17.49% and 15.92% respectively for the 1970 and 1971 subgroups. Results indicated that, at time of enrollment, a "typical" student was a full-time day student, a caucasian male between 16 and 18 years of age, single, not a veteran, with a high school diploma or GED, and no previous college work. Almost half of the respondents originally planned to transfer to a four-year college, one-third enrolled to take courses for enjoyment, and only 13.8% and 16.2% respectively intended to complete a vocational-technical program. One-third of the respondents stated they did not meet their objective. At least 60% of the 1970 and 1971 enrollees withdrew at some point prior to completing their objective, although one-third later re-enrolled. Several recommendations based on the study findings are made, and the survey instrument and student comments are appended. (JDS)
